Pecan Pie Martini

For my whiskey lovers out there, I’ve got a special treat for you!  This cocktail is sweet and oh so delicious!  It’s perfect for enjoying while wrapping presents or hosting a party.

2 oz. Rum Chata
2 oz. Chocolate Liqueur
1 oz. Bourbon
Pecans and Caramel Sauce

Start with chopping the pecans and placing on a plate. On a different plate make a circle about the size of the rim of the glass and dip the glass into the Carmel.  Then dip into the chopped pecans and set aside.  In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add the Rum Chata, chocolate liqueur and bourbon.  Shake well and strain into the prepared glass.  For extra flair you could add whipped cream on top and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Yum!

Blackberry Vanilla Martini

This martini is so simple to make and is so delicious that it does not need a holiday or special event to be enjoyed. This drink is the perfect balance of sweet and sour so the vanilla from the vodka really stands out and is exceptionally delicious.  If you don’t have mint, don’t sweat it.  It adds an extra dimension to the drink but it would still be delicious without.

2 oz. Vanilla Vodka
1 oz. Simple Syrup
.5 oz. Lime Juice
7 Blackberries
5 Mint Leaves
Rosemary sprig for garnish

Start with placing 5 mint leaves and 5 blackberries in the cocktail shaker and use the muddler to gently mash the blackberries and mint.  Juice a lime using the citrus reamer. Add ice to the cocktail shaker then add the vodka, simple syrup and lime juice.  Shake well and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with the rosemary and 2 blackberries.

Cheers!

White Christmas Martini

Here’s a very easy to make cocktail that is as delicious as it is beautiful.  This is great for the holidays and you could add other garnish, but I think this one looks so elegant with just silver or gold sanding sugar on the rim.

2 oz. Rum Chata
2 oz. Vanilla Vodka
1 oz. Sweetened Condensed Milk
Silver or Gold Sanding Sugar for the Rim

Start with putting sanding sugar on a plate and wet the rim of a martini glass.  Dip the rim into the sugar and set aside.  In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add the Rum Chata, vodka and sweetened condensed milk.  Shake vigorously to make sure the condensed milk is fully dissolved into the drink.  Strain into the prepared martini glass.  Cheers!

Mistletoe Margarita!

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about adding cranberry sauce to a cocktail….but not anymore!  The cranberry flavor is on point with the holidays and this will be my new “go to” holiday margarita recipe. It has a crisp cranberry flavor and the tartness from the cranberries and lime compliment each other so well.

 

2 oz. Canned cranberry sauce (whole or jellied)
1.5 oz. Blanco Tequila
.5 oz. Orange Liqueur such as Triple Sec, Cointreau or Grand Mariner
.5 oz. Lime Juice
3 oz. Cranberry Juice
Fresh Cranberries and Lime Wheel for Garnish

 

Using the citrus reamer, juice a lime and set aside.  Add ice to the cocktail shaker and add the cranberry sauce to the shaker along with the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and cranberry juice.  Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to blend the cranberry sauce with the cocktail.  Strain into a glass with fresh ice and garnish with fresh cranberries and a lime wheel.
